Pte. James Moran
British Army King's Regiment (Liverpool)
from:Crosby, Liverpool
(d.16th August 1916)
I have been researching my family tree and only found out yesterday that my great uncle, James Moran, was killed at the Somme on 16th August 1916. He was 18 years of age.
I haven't any photos yet but, hopefully, in time will find some and other information as to whether he received any medals and such. I am trying to find Thomas Moran his brother. There is a Thomas Moran in the same regiment who was killed at Arras but I can't find any personal information on him to link him with James, such as address and mother's name.
James' father, my great grandfather, was also killed in January 1916 aged 49. They are not commemorated at a memorial in Crosby so once I have found out about Thomas and whether this is our Thomas, then the Mayors office will add their names to the memorial in Crosby in time for the 100th anniversary in November. Wish me luck!
